Tips for renting a car in Pennsylvania
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Pennsylvania including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on julio 3, 2025.
- There are many toll roads in Pennsylvania, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which is known for being the largest. When you rent a car in the state, you may be able to specifically ask for a vehicle that has an E-Z Pass transponder installed on it. Having this feature will make it easier to pass through the payment stations. Otherwise, the toll road fees will be charged via your license plate number. Each car rental company has a different procedure for if and how customers should pay for tolls, so make sure to read the fine print of your contract.
- Those who will be exploring the state with little ones will first want to read up on Pennsylvania’s car seat laws. Between birth and the age of two years old, children must be in a car seat that is rear-facing. Children between the ages of two and four years old must be in a car seat that faces forward. From the ages of four to eight, children can be in a booster seat. Children must always sit in the back seat until the age of 12.
- Many individuals who rent a car in Pennsylvania may want to go and explore a neighboring state, like New York, New Jersey, or Maryland. All major rental companies will allow you to do this and will even allow you to drive to any state in the continental United States. You will need to check if you can return your rental in a state other than Pennsylvania, though. If you would like to go on an international road trip to Canada, this is typically allowed as well. However, you will need to tell your rental agency about this ahead of time, as you will likely need to pay for international insurance.

Car rental FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Pennsylvania, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on julio 3, 2025.
Should I rent a car in Pennsylvania?
Major cities in the state, like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, have pretty robust public transportation systems, so a car is not always necessary, but rather an added luxury. Outside these cities, however, Pennsylvania tends to be primarily made up of rural countryside and small towns that do not have much in the way of public transportation, such as Lancaster and Allentown. To move around these areas, you will definitely need to rely on having access to your own vehicle, especially if you plan on visiting Amish Country during your time in the region.
What is driving like in Pennsylvania?
As a lot of Pennsylvania can be rather rural, you will always want to keep your eyes open for animals crossing the road. It is not uncommon to see deer, skunks, or foxes running. The Pennsylvania Turnpike also has quite a few tunnels, so be prepared to drive in these and always make sure that your headlights are on. Due to the fact that Pennsylvania is in the northeast, the state can receive quite a bit of snow in the winter. If you are visiting during this season, make sure that your rental is properly equipped with chains and winter tires.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Pennsylvania?
Like most states in the United States, Pennsylvania requires individuals to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle. If you are renting a car and you are under the age of 25, it is likely that you will be required by your rental agency to pay an additional extra fee each day for being a young driver. You will also need to have had your driving license for at least one year before you are legally able to rent a car. Your license cannot be restricted in any way or be expired.
